Artist's profile:
Quinten Samson aka. SAMSQN is an Amsterdam based artist who started DJing in 2014. Since then he has played in a wide range of clubs, like: Chicago Social Club, Club NL, VLLA, Wester Unie, JACK, Panama and De Kraan.
After DJing for a year he soon discovered the art of producing. This gave him the opportunity to express himself as an artist and further develop his taste for music. Today, SAMSQN’s sound is mainly based on transforming his emotions into story driven techno filled with atmospheric textures. As an artist his goal can be summarized into the following sentence:
'Hypnotizing mankind with all the frequencies a human can possibly perceive.'
Inspirations:
'If I am being honest, it is hard for me to make an E.P. with one story in mind as I get inspired by different aspects. My inspirations come from: personal feelings, nature, music, behaviour of humans and humanity. This E.P. consists of several tracks I made over 2020 and the beginning of 2021, carefully curated to fit together as an atmospheric package.'
'Demise':
The stereotypical inspiration of 2020: Covid-19. The year felt like a prison I wanted to break out from. The track is heavy with dark atmospheric textures to accommodate this feeling.
'Otherworldly sound':
As a real Dutch citizen I love to Ice skate. In februari 2021 it was possible to do this for the first time in like 10 years, because of climate change. When I was skating on a lake near my hometown, I heard the beautiful sound of crackling ice underneath my feet. It felt primal. I tried to capture this feeling in the track.
;JCB':
I got inspired by Etapp Kyle’s 2018 boiler room in Berlin. He was able to play a set with rolling beats/ basslines, while the atmospheric melodies were telling the story. I wanted to recreate that feeling.
'JCBB':
I wanted to make a more groovy and jungle vibe version of JCB.
'80 Hours':
This track was created after working 80 hours in one week without a lot of sleep. To express this feeling I created a track that doesn’t have a lot of big changes.The track is a loop in time.
Releases on 6nd of August.
